Saavik was originally in TWOK, but that was later retconned in TSFS and TVH in favour of making her full Vulcan. As for T'Pol that was meant to be revealed in the series that never was, so not sure how 'canon' that makes it.

I loved Alley's Saavik, the Romulan half gave her a different edge to Spock. But in T'Pol's case I don't understand why they would have gone thrat route with the character.
